Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Tribute Wall

Collectively, more than seven million Americans of all ages are living with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. These illnesses take a significant toll on the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of patients as well as their families and friends.

As we remember and honor our loved ones who have been affected by these diseases, we look to the future with hope and are working together to spread awareness and give back. The Alzheimer’s Association notes that now is a time of unprecedented promise in the race to end Alzheimer’s, thanks to the acceleration of discovery in treatment, prevention, and awareness. Likewise, the Parkinson’s Foundation is raising millions to support research, improve care, and increase access to critical programs that improve quality of life for patients.

We invite you to donate to these incredibly important causes—Action Floors is proud to be a long-term donor to both.

Donate to the Alzheimer’s Association
Donate to the Parkinson’s Foundation

These causes are close to our hearts, as our loved ones have battled with the diseases or lost the battle. Please join us in remembering their names and cherishing their memories.

Carl W. Abendroth

“My Dad, Carl Abendroth, was a real people person with a heart of gold. Whether it was a customer, friend, or complete stranger, he was never at a loss for conversation. As his Parkinson’s progressed over a period of about 15 years, his ability to communicate faltered to the point he could not speak coherently and then nothing but gibberish. But through his eyes, many times one could get a good idea of what he was trying to convey. Even then, he moved others in positive ways. He eventually lost all mobility as well. Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s are both terrible diseases that need to be overcome.”

To Grandaddy, a man who cared about people and the environment. He taught me so much, including how to fish and to play Gin Rummy. Always in my thoughts.

“My grandfather struggled with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s for over 15 years. He passed away 4 years ago. We would go fishing together when I was younger. The re-telling of a favorite fishing story would bring a light into his eyes, even as he progressed into the last stages. My wife and I support research for both of these illnesses and hope that one day we won’t watch our loved one struggle as we did him.”
